On PS5, gamers can also enjoy immersive haptic feedback from their DualSense controller, as well as the new Activities and Help features which help guide gameplay and track progress.

“We are really excited for people to experience Control Ultimate Edition on the new Sony and Microsoft consoles. The next-generation version of the game offers greatly improved load times, improved frame rates, higher resolution, and a wealth of support for platform-specific features. Even the map loads faster! We are especially excited about some of the more immersive gameplay features, which will help you become even more engaged in the role of Director and give a more realistic feel to wielding your transforming Service Weapon,” said Remedy’s Communications Director, Thomas Puha.

Control Ultimate Edition includes the original base game, The Foundation and AWE expansion packs, and all additional game modes.
